It's What's on the Inside That Counts

             I’m sure you’ve all heard the phrases, “It’s what’s on the inside that counts” and
“Don’t judge a book by its cover”. We always say these when referring to people and relationships but, these phrases can be applied to food as well.

It sound fun funny but, it’s true! What’s on the inside really does count. For instance, nobody likes being disappointed when they bite into what they think is a cream filled doughnut, and end up with a mouth full of cherry jelly. That’s a bad surprise but, there are good surprises too; like finding cookie dough in the middle of your chocolate cupcake! That’s always a treat (pun intended).

You can’t judge a book by its cover either…… or in this case you can’t judge a meal by its appearance/presentation. One of my mom’s friends was over and she was telling me about the time she had the best clam chowder of her life. Her and her husband went to this restaurant and ordered this clam chowder. She said it looked gray but it was amazing. She even said that the same clam chowder was served at presidential dinners! So obviously this soup was too good for people to care about the looks of it.

The same thing goes for this one deceiving piece of cheesecake I had. My mom had a party and invited a bunch of her friends over. One of the ladies brought this amazing looking cheesecake. She had obviously gotten it from the store but, it looked so good. There were chocolate pieces, cherry pieces, turtle pieces…… you get the point. So I tried a piece and it didn’t taste good at all! It didn’t even taste like cheesecake! I kept eating it, thinking it would get better but, all I managed to do was consume 400(or more) unworthy calories. So just remember, don’t judge until you try.
